Shalom,
   I can hardly believe it, but I have been on the enet all morning....and co-incidently looked at the camera on the Wall in Jerusalem at 3:40PM....and saw the sunset picture of the Crown of Light hovering over the congregation of the righteous.
   I watched as the sun light disappeared on the wall, in the next 20 mins. then shut the aish sight down for awhile.
   When I came back to my computer I had Bob Wadsworths note on the sighting of last months New Moon, and while I was forwarding it to the Midrash.....with comments that I typed in...Nehemia's announcement of the New Moon was posted.
    YHVH's timing is always perfect.  I'm anxious to hear if it was sighted by telescope as last month, or by eye sight.  It had to be seen in the setting of the light of the sunshine...by my timing of the camera picture.
    Nehemia's time of 16:49 is 4:49PM.....I last looked at the wall at 4:20PM....there was still light on the wall, but not bright sunlight.
    At any rate....today, while it is day is the 30th. of Cheshvan.   Tonight at sundown will be Rosh Chodesh of Tevet.....the 6th or 7th day of Chanukkah.  Are we a day ahead of our Biblical calendar...I don't know....but the next few days may be double pictures (again a #2 reflection for us).

Shalom,
Miriam
